Crossfire or not ?

Hi guys, I have an FX8350 and a 270x with 16gb of ram and was wondering who runs the same config. 

 

I would like to know if it's worth getting another 270x and running crossfire or getting rid of it and getting one card ???

 

If the answer is one card, what should it be as I only game in 1080p.

Nothing to see here - move along.

This^ Crossfire is a novelty, not a means to game. Too many games don't support it and the ones that are were rarely supported at launch. Get a 390 and you'll be able to play almost any game in 1080p at max settings.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

Crossfire/SLI is still a mess and could cause you alot of trouble. Get a powerfull single Card.

Winter is coming, I don't see why not.

I agree with others. From a 270x, you will see a huge improvement with a r9 390. You can find a few GTX 970 for a little bit more. 

AMD Crossfire Support is still young...

CF and SLI both have issues - usually the same on both sides.
